Working closely with our users, Serena has built an end-to-end example scenario that represents our ALM best practice recommendations. This scenario addresses the various roles and dependencies throughout the IT software development lifecycle. Although you will find references to Serena solutions throughout the scenario, it is extensible and can apply to 3rd party applications as well.
We recommend that you review and consider this scenario as a starting point for understanding how your processes might best map to Serena best practices as implemented by Serena Orchestrated ALM solutions.
This scenario comprises the following high level project lifecycle stages:
Inception
Elaboration
Construction (Coding and Testing)
Transition
Complete
We shall walk through each of these in turn.
